| 20090061495 | Treatment Systems and Processes for Lignocellulosic Substrates that Contain Soluble Carbohydrates - A biorefining process used to convert lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol via a fermentation pathway. In a first pretreatment process step, the biomass is mixed with an aqueous wash solution to remove soluble carbohydrates from the biomass structure. Next, the solid fraction is separated from a liquid fraction. In a second pretreatment process, the solid fraction is pre-treated to make the fiber bundles and complex polysaccharides more amenable to enzymatic hydrolysis. Following the second pretreatment process, the pre-treated biomass is subjected to one or more enzymes in a hydrolysis process. The liquid fraction isolated from the first pretreatment process is diverted past the second pretreatment process and is recombined with the solid fraction in the hydrolysis process. The enzyme cocktail in the hydrolysis process breaks down the alpha- and hemicellulose polymers into fermentable sugars. Finally, a fermentation process produces a “beer” that is further processed in a distillation and dehydration process. | 03-05-2009 |

| 20090275098 | SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES FOR ENHANCED YIELD FROM FERMENTATIONS THAT CONTAIN XYLOSE - A system and process for the utilization of xylose during fermentation is described. The system uses a fermenter and a separate reactor to isomerize the xylose to xylulose. The separation of the two processes allows the optimization of each process since the isomerization operates ideally in a calcium free environment near pH 7.5 while the fermentation operates ideally below a pH of 6. Control of pH is assisted by the modulation of CO2 in the fermentation medium. Xylulose is fermented to ethanol by numerous standard yeasts although other products are also possible. The separate reactor may be run in a single pass, or, more preferably in a recirculating mode to allow full isomerization while the xylulose product is being consumed by the yeast. A preferred embodiment includes a Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation system where the liquid portion of the fermenting broth is isomerized and returned to the fermentation vessel. | 11-05-2009 |

| 20080270960 | METHOD FOR INCORPORATING MILLER CAPACITANCE EFFECTS IN DIGITAL CIRCUITS FOR AN ACCURATE TIMING ANALYSIS - A method for performing a static timing analysis on a circuit that includes gates and their respective interconnects by incorporating the effect of Miller capacitance on timing. A primitive gate is selected with its respective fan-out gates, interconnects attached to the primitive gate's output and interconnects attached to the output of each respective fan-out gate are determined. Using a metric, it is determined if the Miller capacitance effect of a CMOS gate on timing of its fan-out gate and interconnect timing is significant for each fan-out gate. If yes, the gate is replaced with a nonlinear driver model. If no, the gate is replaced with a fixed or dynamic capacitance. Next, if at least one of the fan-out gates is replaced with the nonlinear driver model, the primitive gate is likewise replaced with its corresponding nonlinear model as well. Then, a nonlinear timing simulation is performed on the circuit to generate voltage waveforms at the output of the primitive gate and the input of its fan-out gates that incorporate the effect of the Miller capacitance. However, if none of the fan-out gates are replaced with the nonlinear driver model, a conventional gate and interconnect timing analysis is preferably performed. | 10-30-2008 |
